I've Been There Before (Grace and Caden) novel Chapter 64

The instant Ruby raised her head, she looked into a pair of deep eyes by accident.

Even now, Ruby's cheeks were still colored by the blush.

She looked at Franklin, somewhat nervously, "Mr.…Mr. Cordon."

She blinked her eyes, hoping that Franklin could help and save her.

Franklin put the wine bottle in his hand down, then casted a gaze at Ruby and burst into a sudden laughter. Ruby's heart raced, and she was somewhat excited…sure enough, Mr. Cordon still remembered her.

"President Shaw, who is she?"

For a split second Ruby doubted her hearing. She felt like she was staying in an ice cellar.

Caden sat on the sofa with his slender legs crossed elegantly. "She? She said she has got a crush on Franklin. So I thought, since such an innocent girl is hooked on you, as your partner since childhood, I should lead her to come to you anyway, lest you miss your true love."

If Caden wanted to make Franklin feel disgusting, then Franklin expressed…he was really disgusted by Caden's remarks.

Miss true love?

Who?

"How can such a nasty woman be my true love?"

Ruby's lips quivered, she did not expect that she would be so unbearable for Franklin.

"Well, I've brought her here, and we can't simply let go of this thing." Caden snapped his fingers in the air. "Kirk, get the biggest bucket in Young Master Cordon's mansion, then fill it up with water and bring it to me."

Franklin rebuffed and sprang up from his seat immediately. "Stop!" His look was frozen. "Caden, it's my home, how dare you simply touch my thing without my permission."

Unhurriedly, Caden interlocked his fingers and gazed at Franklin's straight face.

"This is your home, so I can't touch the things in your house at will," Caden said slowly, but his face blazed with fury all of a sudden.

"Grace is mine, how dare you lay a finger on her without my permission!"

Even though Franklin had been grinning cheekily all along, at that moment, his eyelids twitched. Suddenly, he squinted his eyes and stared at Caden sitting on the sofa.

"So are you here today for Grace?"

He asked.

A standard smile crossed Caden's lips mechanically. "Yes and no."

With that, he lifted his chin and pointed at Ruby. "Why you hate this woman has nothing to do with me. I don't even care if you're going to teach her a lesson or deliberately torture her till death. But Franklin, don't you give your work the finishing touches?"

Caden's accusation was too obvious while his tone of voice was even frosty, making Franklin smell a rat.

"What do you mean?" Why did he involve Ruby again?

"Langston Du," Caden only spit out these two words. He fastened his gaze on Franklin, pointing at Ruby again, "Understand?"

After these words, there was nothing that Franklin could not understand and he could conceal nothing.

However, he really did not understand why Ruby had to do with Caden.

"I know she is your employee at the Royal Club." After consideration, Franklin thought that it might be because he had laid a finger on Caden's employee. Based on Caden's domineering personality, he was not sure what Caden would do.

"But isn't she all right? She's not dead."

At this time, Ruby had already crumpled to the floor.
